Family Fortunes- Pilot...FOUND on YT

[Kelvin Walker]

This uploaded onto YouTube yesterday, An edition of Family Fortunes dated 6th January 1980, which was the date of the untransmitted pilot episode (which is missing) according to TV Brain.
The Uploader incorrectly states it is series 1 episode 1.
The reason why I know this is that the Steer family from Battersea appeared on the 1st episode and I was in the same class @ secondary school with their youngest son, who was not on the show.

Back in the days when contestants would actually make a bit of effort to look nice when appearing on TV!
